As many people have mentioned before, anime fans have no reason to worry for the future of the category, even after Hayao Miyazaki decides to put his pen down permanently. One of the main reasons for this optimism is Makoto Shinkai, with “Weathering With You” being another testament to the fact.
“Weathering With You” is streaming on Screen Anime
Hodaka Morishima is a high-schooler who has run away from his island home, trying to find a different life in Tokyo. During his trip with the ferry, a freak rainstorm almost makes him drown, but he is saved at the last minute by Keisuke Suga, in a meeting that ends up with Hodaka much poorer, but with a business card of his savior in his hands. A second fateful encounter takes place a few days later in a McDonald’s, where a young employee, Hina, takes pity on him and gives him food.

It’s probably best not to overindulge in pre-drinks at the cinema bar before taking your seat, the lights dim and Weathering With You’s deluge of exquisite hand-drawn rain hits you square in the bladder for the next two hours. If you’re anything like me, you may feel uncomfortably twinned with Tokyo as it slowly floods in Shinkai’s simple and bright coming-of-age story overflowing with magic and charm.
We open on wayward teen Hodaka Morishima (Kotardo Daigo) on a passenger ferry sailing into Tokyo shrouded by endless rain clouds. A freak rainstorm of oceanic proportions filled with sky-fish no less, almost washes Hodaka overboard and into the arms of occult magazine writer Keisuke Suga (Shun Oguri), it’s an unlikely and yet pivotal meeting, but they soon part company after all the ramen and beer is gone. Hodaka is left to scrap it out on the capital’s rain-soaked streets avoiding policemen,...

We don’t want to overwhelm you, but while you’re catching up with our top 50 films of 2019, more cinematic greatness awaits in 2020. Ahead of our 100 most-anticipated films (all of which have yet to premiere), we’re highlighting 40 titles we’ve enjoyed on the festival circuit this last year (and beyond) that either have confirmed 2019 release dates or are awaiting a debut date from its distributor. There’s also a handful of films seeking distribution that we hope will arrive in the next 12 months, which can be seen here.
Les Misérables (Ladj Ly; Jan. 10)
Les Misérables is–incredibly, it should be said–the first feature of Ladj Ly, a 39-year-old Saint Denis native and a product of Kourtrajmé, a short film collective that was set up by Romain Gavrais and Kim Chapiron in 1994. (Gavrais’ artistic fingerprints can be seen all over Ly’s fascination with football jerseys and male tribalism.

Teenagers get plenty of flack these days with derogatory labels thrust upon them by older generations refusing to truly look outside their window at how much the world has changed. They’ve a lot to shoulder with the pressure of living up to impossible and antiquated expectations, confusion as to a future and identity they can’t quite decipher yet, and the crippling reality that the world around them is literally crumbling via war, genocide, and climate change. Kids used to run from home as a means of rebellion or cry for help, but now it’s sometimes out of necessity. Survival is staying off the grid so as not to be pushed into a damaging situation dictated by external forces that don’t understand or, worse yet, won’t listen.
